Implantação | Installation composed of 143 clay casts made directly from the artist’s feet, arranged in the form of a bowl-like spatial configuration. Tensioned nylon threads orient the elements toward a central circular area on the floor, where a suspended clay form — wrapped in red cotton thread — establishes a point of concentration and gravitational focus within the installation.
Through repetition, bodily imprint and spatial organization, the work investigates relations between corporeality, containment, balance and collective structure.
